[QUOTE="StalkingBlue, post: 1369302, member: 645"] And no, I don't particularly like the German translations of the core rulebooks (if they've translated anything else, I haven't seen it). I have to admit that as far as I can see the translations are consistent, meaning they don't change terminology midway without reason - a far too common problem with translations in general. But I'm unhappy with too many of the terms they use. "Rogue" is rendered as "Schurke", for example, which is really closer to "villain" than anything else - so it has even worse connotations than the old term "thief", which 3ed got rid of specifically in order to drag the class out of its underworld niche. "Tumble" is rendered as "Turnen", which means "gymnastics". Sorry, but no. My monk didn't engage in gymnastics. And it goes on. Not to mention someone ought to be punished for a conversion of distances into figures you need a calculator to use. :mad: [/QUOTE]
